Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan) announced on the 21st that it has hired chief attorney Nak-Hyung Kim, a former chief judge, and Naewon Kwak, a former judge.

After being appointed as a judge at the Ulsan District Court, Attorney Nakhyeong Kim worked at the Jinju Branch of the Changwon District Court, the Busan District Court, and the Busan High Court, and served as the Chief Judge at the Daegu District Court.

While serving as a judge, Attorney Kim handled a variety of cases, including embezzlement, inheritance, and sexual crimes, and especially specialized in corporate crimes such as infringement of corporate trade secrets, embezzlement, and breach of trust.

Attorney Kim expressed his ambition, saying, "Utilizing my experience as a chief judge, I will take a sharp look into various violent crime cases and establish strategies optimized for clients. At Daeryun, I will strive to provide the best legal services that clients can trust."

After being appointed as a judge at the Daejeon District Court, Attorney Kwak Nae-won served as a judge at the Daejeon District Court, Gongju Branch, Suwon District Court, and Seoul Central Court, and then as a judge at the Seoul Administrative Court.

Attorney Kwak, who specializes in administrative litigation, handled lawsuits such as a lawsuit against the Mayor of Busan Metropolitan City to cancel the imposition of a metropolitan transportation facility fee, a lawsuit against the head of the Yongsan Tax Office to cancel a gift tax imposition, and a lawsuit against the head of Gangnam-gu, Seoul, to cancel a notice of disallowance of development activities.

In addition, he stood out in industrial accident cases by handling numerous cases of cancellation of industrial accident disapproval and violations of the Severe Accident Punishment Act.

He has been active in various fields, serving as a member of the KOSDAQ delisting review committee of the Korea Exchange (KRX), a mediator of the Seoul Family Court, an advisory lawyer for Hanam City Corporation, and an advisory lawyer for the Korea Environmental Journalists Association.

Attorney Kwak said, "It is not easy to prepare and win an administrative lawsuit alone. Having served as an administrative court judge, I know well what arguments to make," and added, "I will do my best to ensure that you actually receive the results you expect when you prepare a lawsuit with an expert."

Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm, said, "We are looking forward to the performance of Attorney Kim, who specializes in corporate cases, and Attorney Kwak, who has extensive experience in administrative litigation. We expect that the joining of the two attorneys will further strengthen our expertise in fields such as corporate law and administration. We will continue to make efforts to strengthen expertise in each field and provide differentiated legal services."
